The Elbaf Arc of One Piece Brings Us a Whole New Level of Surprises. Fans Have Been Anticipating This Arc Since the Little Garden Arc of the Arabasta Saga.
One of the intriguing revelations is about the notorious twin brother of Shanks, Figarland Shamrock. Chapter 1137 of One Piece not only confirms his identity but also reveals that Shamrock is actually the heir of the mythical figure known as the God of the Sun Nika.
Furthermore, the Elbaf arc delves deeply into the mythology surrounding the Sun God Nika. The land of Elbaf has an ancient text called Harley, which contains significant historical events. Since it was written in an ancient language, only Robin can decipher it.
Chapter 1138 also hints at a crucial connection to world history through a mural that appears to be quite significant. However, it also subtly hints at Luffy’s awakening, which can only occur after he becomes the King of the Pirates. This manga marks the first time Luffy’s potential awakening was hinted at during the Wano Country Saga, and we have progressed closer to discovering it.
Luffy’s Awakening in One Piece May be Linked to World History
In Chapter 1000 of One Piece, Ace hints at Luffy’s awakening with Yamato. Even though they were younger, he and Sabo had already recognized Luffy’s potential to turn dreams into reality. After reading Oden’s journal, Yamato was made aware of Roger’s awakening, which is similar to Luffy’s awakening.
In Chapter 1060, Luffy reveals his awakening to the entire Straw Hat crew after the Wano battle concludes, although the details remain unclear to others. All crew members are astonished when they see the mural that depicts Luffy’s potential awakening as something he can achieve by becoming the King of the Pirates.
When Roger revealed the dream to Oden and his crew, no one believed it. The awakening sounded unbelievable, leaving everyone shocked after hearing it. Yet, this is precisely what Luffy has wanted to achieve since he was young. In Chapter 1138, Franky is particularly astonished by the mural, where it appears that everyone from the crew is engaged in a battle with a common goal.
Ripley mentions that history often intertwines with battles between factions, but cultural exchanges rarely occur. She even believes that the mural is just a manifestation of a dream of a certain group, fitting with Luffy’s aspirations in the past. Luffy’s awakening in One Piece may be related to the concept of uniting people and creating harmonious coexistence. As the story unfolds, it is highly likely that the war will commence after Luffy becomes the King of the Pirates.
Throughout his journey, Luffy has formed bonds with various races and factions, including Samurai, Fishmen, Tontatta, Sky People, and many other groups. All these allies quickly rally to his side when needed. Luffy may envision a world without discrimination based on race or bloodline. The world has been in turmoil since the World Government was established over 800 years ago. If all factions reconcile, every individual will return to their former selves as if time had never passed when they meet again.
